Improving Care through Knowledge Translation

Working with us

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital is dedicated to creating a world of possibilities for children and youth with disabilities and their families.

Fundamental to fulfilling that goal is attracting exceptional professionals. We offer you the opportunity to make a difference, impacting lives and challenging yourself in an atmosphere that is defined by dynamic people doing remarkable work on a daily basis.

Our team is comprised of more than 900 staff members who occupy full-time, part-time and casual positions. Annually, about 7,000 children, youth and their families from across Ontario benefit from our outpatient clinics, hospital care, assistive technology services, community outreach initiatives and our commitment to client and family centred care. We recognize that our exceptional service is a direct reflection of our organization’s employees.

Our philosophy supports a family-centred approach and our nurse-to-client ratios are generally 3:1. We offer onsite educational opportunities and have clinical educators associated with each of our units to support ongoing learning.

Registered nurses at Holland Bloorview are non-unionized, yet receive the same compensation rates as unionized Ontario Nurses Association nurses. Registered practical nurses are unionized and are represented by the Ontario Federation of Healthcare Workers.

Nursing students seeking to enhance their experience have the opportunity to work as health-care providers during the summer in our inpatient units. They also have opportunities to work part-time during the year.

Holland Bloorview is proud to partner with the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) to implement multiple evidence-based guidelines providing nurses with the latest research evidence in patient care. Holland Bloorview is one of 16 organizations across Ontario to be awarded a Best Practice Spotlight Organization candidacy. Read more.
